The Namibia Water Corporation (NamWater) has warned the public about an online scam falsely advertising jobs under the name “NAMWATER LTD 2025 Recruitment”.
NamWater spokesperson Lot Ndamanomhata said the fraudulent ad encourages people to click a link and apply for various positions.
The fraudulent ad instructs applicants to share the link with five WhatsApp groups or fifteen friends in order to complete the application process.
NamWater has distanced itself from the scheme.
“NamWater categorically states that it would never request or require any applicant to share job links via WhatsApp or any other social media platforms as part of the application process,” said Ndamanomhata.
He said NamWater does not use third-party recruitment portals or agencies to advertise or process job applications.
“All official NamWater vacancies are published exclusively on the NamWater website,” he said.
Ndamanomhata urged the public to avoid sharing personal information or making payments to people or platforms pretending to represent NamWater.
He advised anyone unsure about a job posting to verify it with NamWater’s employee services division at +264 61 71 0000.
“We encourage the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to the fraudulent use of our name and branding,” he said.
Ndamanomhata said the scam is targeting job seekers who may be pressured to find work as the year progresses.
He added that NamWater remains committed to protecting its reputation and the integrity of its operations.
